My husband is THE hugest Miami Heat fan, and I wanted to surprise him with a custom Miami Heat garter on my leg! I don't remember the seller, but I found the garter on eBay. The price was great, and the garter was perfect! eBay is just great to find everything that you need!

We honeymooned in St. Augustine, so we splurged on our hotel and stayed at Casa Monica. The hotel is GORGEOUS! (Would have LOVED to have our wedding there!) Our room was perfect; we enjoyed our plush bed, the huge bath tub, and our view was amazing! The hotel is in walking distance to like everything, so we practically walked everywhere!

We didn't want to spend a lot on our wedding, but we also didn't want to not have a beautiful wedding cake. My office always gets a cake once a month for our meeting, so I went to Publix one day to see what they had to offer for wedding cakes. I was very surprised and happy that they had such a beautiful variety that we ordered our cake from there. It was so beautiful and yummy at our wedding... PERFECT!

Michaels is just FABULOUS! Not only do they accept expired coupons, but the coupon discounts are amazing! I got everything there that I needed for our wedding decor and flowers over a course of several weeks, and was very pleased with everything. Got the supplies needed to create the pomander ball for my flower girl to carry, all of our vases and candles, frames, ribbons, and etc. With the discounts that I got, I saved a bundle, which I was VERY happy about!
We got our bands from bands from Zales. We just wanted something simple, and were happy to find our platinum bands there at a really great price. We got such a great deal as well on the engraving and our service! Zales is great!
Because we only invited our immediately family and closest friends, we didn't think that we needed an actual invitation to go out. Plus, our guests are all very computer-savvy, so we opted on sending our invitations via eVite.com instead. We were very happy with our decision because within one week of sending it out, everyone that we invited RSVPed yes! We were able to design and upload our own invitation background to use as well. The site is very easy to use, and is FREE! Can't get any better than F-R-E-E!!
I only had one Bridesmaid/Maid of Honor, my cousin, and I wanted her to select her own dress for our wedding. She said that she found it on Nordstrom.com, and that she absolutely loved it (and has worn it twice since our wedding!) She was very pleased with the dress and the service that she received, as she had to call them a few times to check on the sizes available.
When we decided on a beach wedding, I knew that I wanted something that would be comfortable yet gorgeous for the beach. I didn't think that a huge poofy wedding dress was appropriate, and I didn't see myself wearing one either. I love shopping on JC Penny, so I thought I would see what they had online first. I saw my dress right away, and ordered it then. The price was perfect, and I knew that the quality and the dress would just be amazing. I was sad that I wasn't able to wear it though because I found out I was pregnant, but oh well! I was able to return it with no hassel.

Okay, so FIVE months before our wedding, I find out I'm PREGNANT! It was the best Christmas present I gave to my husband and our families! It was also a little stressful to know that I was going to be pregnant during our wedding, and we did not want to reschedule because of that. So I had to look for another dress that I would be able to fit into, and I came across the Isabella Oliver website one day. I was so relieved and happy to have found a GORGEOUS dress (one that I thought was more beautiful than the one I first bought). I ordered it right away and it came in a few weeks later. I was so happy!! The quality is AMAZING; when I tried it on I felt so comfortable that I knew I would be just as comfortable on our wedding day. After my dress came in I went right away back online and ordered more of their maternity clothing!

We had an intimate wedding, with a total of 20 guests, which included us. We didn't want to sacrifice our dream wedding on the beach and then having our reception indoors, but we also didn't want to settle on someplace "ordinary" because of our small guest list. The Emerald Shores was great for us because their sandy beaches were perfect, and their meeting room holds a max of like 40, so it was perfect for us because we didn't want to feel tiny in a huge room. Our ceremony on the beach was lovely. I did have complaints that it rained in the morning before our ceremony started, and the sand was less than desirable, but you can't do anything about the weather. That's where my first issue came in with the hotel because they didn't have a backup room for inclement weather conditions. Our ceremony was still beautiful though! Our reception was great, just the way we wanted it, casual yet elegant. We definitely liked the fact that we could bring an outside caterer because we didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on food. Our parents (or should I say our moms) were our caterers, and it was great! We had plenty of space for our dinner tables, our buffet line, and the floor for dancing! We also stayed there that night, and were happy with our room.
